Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1434

After hanging up, Tyler placed the papers in front of Fiona.

"All done already?"

"It's only been twenty minutes," he replied.

Fiona glanced at him in surprise, picking up the papers for a quick look-through.

"No wonder you sounded so sure of yourself earlier," she chuckled. "Not bad at all, finishing three questions in just twenty minutes."

"Well, that's nothing compared to the boss," Mikey chimed in with a laugh. "Boss, you were acing tests with perfect scores at thirteen—across all subjects, no less!"

Fiona rolled her eyes at Mikey's flattery and turned to Tyler. "On Monday, I'll take you to school to meet Mr. Garcia."

"Okay!" Tyler nodded enthusiastically, a smile spreading across his face.

Fiona was about to chat more with Tyler when her phone rang again at just the wrong time. It was Jackson.

Clutching a pillow, she answered, "Hey, big bro."

"What are you up to?"

"Just lying down," Fiona answered casually. Noticing Tyler was still standing, she waved him off. "No need to stand on ceremony, go ahead and get some sleep."

"I'll head upstairs then," Tyler nodded silently, turning and heading up the stairs.

Meanwhile, Jackson heard the young man’s voice on the other end, and his interest piqued. A guy. From Fiona’s tone, Jackson figured out this was the friend's brother she'd mentioned before. He’d assumed the kid was eleven or twelve, but he sounded more like seventeen or eighteen. Living with a young woman. Hmm.
